Final answer:

The passage provided does not mention Marji but discusses Caitlin's arrival in Madrid where she experiences culture shock and feels isolated and disconnected amidst the new customs and language barriers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage in question does not provide information about a character named Marji or her family arriving at an airport. However, there is a passage about Caitlin arriving in Madrid to visit Maria, where she experiences culture shock. Caitlin is greeted at the airport by Maria's mother with kisses and an imposing father who kept his distance.

The mood upon Caitlin's arrival and during the first night is one of discomfort and isolation, feeling overwhelmed by the new customs, language, and surroundings.

She struggles with the late dinner time, the loud and extended discussion at the dinner table—which includes political topics, a subject that is avoided in her own home—and feels homesick for familiar surroundings.
